• Dems want more talks nominees
I know there are more important things going on, but this was on CNN's front page. Embarrassssing. Rn spelchk.
CNN Free Video is More Annoying Than Before
CNN's new free video service is weirder than it was. Before, you supposedly had to log in, but Webjay watchers know that it wasn't too tough to get the videos if you wanted them (cut and paste the URL and put it into the appropriate syntax). Those were RTSP links to RealMedia video files (.rm).
Now, they still use RTSP, but it's to deliver WMV files. I have no idea why this is, since you can't save RTSP. I have noticed that Windows formats (WMV and WMA) are starting to take over - Rhapsody, owned by Real, even uses WMA for downloads, and now for streams as well (which means that Real pays a license to MS rather than use their own format - huh?). The only reason that I know of to use WMV is that the DRM is supposed to be the hardest to crack. If you can't save the file, what's the point?
CNN also wants you to watch the file on a pop-up web page with an embedded player of some sort. Using Ethereal to capture packets, it wasn't too tough to discover the actual source of the stream:
and put it in a playlist with a BBC video.
And so it goes.

I don't read Russian so I'm not 100% sure what all of this is, but it appears to be radio segments of metal bands. Some Motorhead here, and some Ozzy as well. Find more on SingingFish.
